摘要

The rolling item collector mechanism is particularly for metal pipes, comprising a ramp and a collector trough open at the top. Above the trough is a tongue (19) of shock-absorbent material, adjustable in relation to the trough (40), and movable in and out of the path of the incoming items (30). Where the trough accommodates several layers of items it can be movable up and down. There can also be an inlet tongue (17) at the end of the ramp (41), its free end protruding into the trough and being adjustable for height in relation to the ramp.
